TRAP.

Application filed January 15, 1921. Serial No. 437,448.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, JENs NnLsoN, a citizen oi' the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State ot New York, have invented nen7 and usel'ul lm provements in Traps, of which the following` is a specilication.

rlhis invention relates to traps.

More particularly the invention relates to lo traps for trapping and exterminatinp` insects such as flies, roaches, Waterbugs, and the like.

Some oit' the objects of the present invention are: to produce a trap of the character mentioned Which embodies readily separable l5 members to facilitate the removal of exten minated insects; to produce a device which is comparatively simple ot construction; to produce an inexpensive trap. lVith those mentioned and other objects in vienv the in- 20 vention resides in the particular construction and the relative arrangementoi parts hereinafter more l'ully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which;

Figure l is a central vertical sectional ,5 View ot' the trap ol the present invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view. fliigure 3 is a detail sectional fragmentary View.

ltet'errin'-g now more particularly to the .fi drawingl t'or details, it will be manifest that, the trap oi the present invention consists principally ot' two main members i() and ll, rilhe member l() consists ol1v a prefer-alil)Y cylindrical part l2 which is open at its top, and Which has a bottom 13, and a handle 14.

rThe member 11 consists ot a litting 15,-wl'1ich embodies spaced annular rings or parts 16. The member il also consists ot a part 17 oi'A itoraminated material formed into the shape io of a cone, and so as to provide an entrance opening 18. rEhe larger end oi. the part 'li' is bent and extended into the space between the rings 16, and is securely soldered or otherwise attached to the said rings. L handle 19 is secured to the rings 16 and serves as a means for the ready separation ot the members and 11.

In the assemblage of the members 10 and l1 the fitting 15 encircles the upper' end ol5 the part fr portion of the part 1.7 limits the extent to which the fitting' 15 may be moved down about the part l2, as will be understood. The part 17 extends downn'ardlj,Y in the compartment 20 which is delined by the walls ot' the part l2. It is into the compartment 2() that the insects find their way through the openingl 1S in the part il?.

Suitable bait to attract the insects is placed on the bottom ol" the member it). willie insertion oft' the bait is readily permitted by separating the members 1() and 11. VLilies Wise, by separating the said members the trap may be cleaned troni time to time, and the exterminated insects may bc removed as the occasion arises.

lfllliat is claimed is:

1. i trap comprising a member lia'v'injg a handle, and open at its top, and delininn a compartment; a second member inclinlingfj :i iitting having spaced parts, and a toi-amiA nated part having` a return bend and an opening, the return bend ot said 'toi-aminated part being secured to the parts et said fitting, and a. handle secured to said litting.

A trap comprising separable members` one ot said members having` bottoni and side Walls to delinc a compartment; the other o? said members comprising a fitting, a. i'oraminated part having walls converging' to a rela tively small opening, and a return bend. the said return bend ot said toraniinated part being; secured to said littingi', and a bundle secured to said fitting.
